x86/alternatives: Discard dynamic check after init

Move the code to do the dynamic check to the altinstr_aux
section so that it is discarded after alternatives have run and
a static branch has been chosen.

This way we're changing the dynamic branch from C code to
assembly, which makes it *substantially* smaller while avoiding
a completely unnecessary call to an out of line function.
